Buccaneer for Data

Bulgin is pleased to announce the 4000 Series – Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). The 4000 Series - Single Pair Ethernet joins the Circular Data Connector family, it is available in Flex variations, Front and Rear Panel Mounts, and 1m, 2m, 3m and 5m cable lengths in 22 and 26 AWG options.

The Single Pair Ethernet follows the 10BASE-T1L protocol, with uninterrupted IP communication from servers and the cloud down to the device level. SPE can supply power as well as data transfer in sophisticated industrial IoT implementations using power over Dataline.- It is compact, robust connector, with a thinner cable diameter making the 4000 SPE suitable for harsh environments. SPE is a flexible technology and can be customized to suit many different applications. Patch cord lengths, transmission speeds and network topologies can all be adjusted to suit the majority of situations. SPE can be used in controlled industrial settings for machinery and sensor connections, such as real time conditioning monitoring. Vision systems in smart agriculture can benefit from SPE for its real time delivery of data and customization capabilities. SPE also can be used in vehicle cabling for autonomous vehicles and an enabler for industry 4.0.

Efficient Solderless Magnet Wire Solutions

Magnet wire solutions from TE Connectivity deliver high-quality, cost-efficient, and clean terminations for motor, coil, solenoid, and other magnet wire applications. Solutions are available to terminate copper wire, aluminum wire or a combination of both.

MAG-MATE and SIAMEZE terminals are based on insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology, while AMPLIVAR products terminate magnet wire through crimp compression. For compressor applications, TE also offers cluster block connectors designed for terminating hermetic header pins.

These magnet wire solutions eliminate the need for pre-stripping and soldering of magnet wire, resulting in a highly repeatable and automatable termination process.

Magnet Wire Featured Products

MAG-MATE Terminals
Insulation displacement contact (IDC) terminals available in poke-in, poke-in tab, splice, crimp wire barrel, solder post, quick connect tab, pin, and receptacle styles. Standard MAG-MATE terminals accept 34-11AWG magnet wire.

AMPLIVAR Terminals & Splices
Crimp terminals and splices with a unique wire barrel design featuring serrations and burrs that displace magnet wire insulation without wire stripping. AMPLIVAR products are designed to terminate magnet wire to itself or in combination with solid or stranded lead wire.

SIAMEZE Terminals
Compact IDC terminals for interconnecting magnet wires, lead wires and other components in space limited systems. The terminal is available with a moving beam contact that accepts a wide range of wire sizes in a single part.

Cluster Blocks
Fully insulated, one piece housing connectors that allow electrical connection of sealed hermetic header pins on compressors. These connectors only accept pins from one side, preventing reversed polarity connections.
